Passage Three

On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day the refused the offer as follows:

We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods… they were totally good for nothing.

We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction (失误).

Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.

Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

36.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A) To look back to the early days of computers.

B) To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.

C) To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.

D) To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.（D）

37.According to the passage, the initial concern about computers was that they might ________.

A) change our personal lives

B) take control of the world

C) create unforeseen problems

D) affect our businesses（B）

38.The passage recommends those dealing with computers to ________.

A) be reasonably doubtful about them

B) check all their answers

C) substitute them for basic thinking

D) use them for business purposes only（A）

39.The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is ________.

A) challenging

B) psychological

C) dramatic

D) fundamental（B）

40.It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of ________.
